Conexão Repórter on YouTube: Internet users' discourse on Daniel's case

Abstract

The research reveals the speech of the Internet users who watched the edition of Conexão Repórter (SBT) about the Daniel case, made available on YouTube by the official channel of the program. Daniel was a football player and was brutally murdered on October 28, 2018, in the city of São José dos Pinhais, Paraná. The program edition features an exclusive interview with Allana Brites, daughter of the couple accused of having committed the crime. To analyze what netizens said about the Interview, the survey compiled the last 100 comments posted on YouTube on the topic. The collection was carried out on September 18, 2019. The methodology used in the research was the Collective Subject Discourse (DSC), created by Lefevre & Lefevre (2006), who proposes that, when several people talk about the same subject, it occurs the so-called Collective Discourse. Among the conclusions, it can be said that most Internet users publicly lynched Allana, criticized justice and praised the program led by journalist Roberto Cabrini.
